[Typo3-dev] Typo3 4.0 wishlist ;) <rant>

[Johannes Reichardt]

Hey there,

i was just going mad again due to my disability to make typo3 do what i 
want ;)

- page is being generated message
This message is the worst-case scenario for searchengines and very nasty 
for visitors as well. i wonder why that is not completly removed.

- extremly unpleasant errorhandling
typo3 seems to "hate" 404 messages. at least with realurl. everything i 
tried so far resulted in just something (like a 200 message or something 
else) but i never got a real 404. even when i use apache with 
ErrorDocument 404 i get a 404 page that contains a moved 200 message.

What i want to say: The whole errordocument and message thing is a 
complete mess with realurl and confusing for searchengines. I also miss 
a way to tell an extension to just throw a 404 - would be great for 
dynamic pages that use fixedPostVars for example.

Yet another problem is having realUrl links that are only "one way 
tickets" - means that they have to be in the cache to be valid, 
otherwise they do throw an 200, a 404, the startpage, the next directory 
level, nothing or just something. That is extremly bad for "link 
transparency" as well.

In general i am still having trouble with too many options that are too 
much embedded in a complex environment, making changes and understanding 
a real pain.

Maybe there is some sort of "typo3 light" in the future with a 
bullet-proof built in realurl/static_html implementation and 
compatibility and built-in options overhead in general?

Just that you get me right - the problems above seem very common and are 
also very related to the "core functions" of a website. A page that 
shows "page is being generated" is not acceptable and a 404 redirect 
that throws a 200 either.

What you think? ;)
